"te,ecs.r The enemy was whxt they
were looking for and Mac suggested
that they put their heads together and
devise ways and means whereby they
might procure. nj least. n brnce Of
scaips. Jo said his Sighting blood was
up and II Mac would furnish the gen.
cralship aud strategy l,c would trt his
Inst dollar they would SO home with the

piled that lie had = large supply Of gen
erslship on hand and Ms to strategy he
was right ut home In tint particular line
and nj once lead of, taking circuit

enemy In flank and rear ut tho same
time. They approached the Indians
cautiously until within about fifteen
feet Of their camp. when Mac let out

he possessed. That veil WAS fatal. II
frustrated their well.laid plans. The

That Check Case.

Under Sheriff Frank Hatton, OF Deer
Lodge, came up yesterday morning to
take down witnesses in the check robbery
case. He spent the day in Butte looking
up testimony in the case and was very
successful. He found several places in
Butte where the men arrested had offered
the checks for sale. sometimes at q discount
o. 10 per cent. He stated to The MINER
that he had found enough information to
give him the "dead cinch"on the prisoners,
and that they would undoubtedly be con-
victed. Mr.. Hatton left last night, after
securing about twenty witnesses, among
whom were Sheriff Lloyd and Constable
Enge!, and several persons to whom the
prisoners had offered to sell the checks.
The examination will take place at Deer
Lodge on Wednesday,. Mr.. Hatton thinks
The work on the case in Butte was very
good, as, unless one OF the men had
'peached," a conviction that now seems
secured would have been impossible.
